PHP：从路径获取文件作为上载文件

Question

I want to forward a file with a known path to a script that was intended for $_FILES["uploadfile"]. So how to get this code working:

<?PHP
$uplfile = "somefileinscriptdirectory.txt";
echo $uplfile["name"];
echo $uplfile["size"];
?>

Is there a way to get a file handle on the txt-File to work with like you would with a $_FILES[...]?

Thank you in advance!

Have you tried fileinfo ( which is apparently native since php 5.3.0 )? http://us1.php.net/manual/fr/function.finfo-file.php
